Chapter 51 Daily Life
After the two of them walked away, Qing Tao quietly approached Yu Ying and asked, "My lady, Concubine Wei didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"
Yuying glanced at Qingtao and said, "Qingtao, in your heart, how easy is it to bully your mistress? Why do you think anyone can bully me?"
Qing Tao smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "My lady, I heard from the little girl who was boiling water in the Yanxi Palace that Concubine Wei is having a hard time in the Yanxi Palace."
Here it comes again, Qingtao's Bagua skill is activated.
However, Yuying's curiosity was indeed aroused.
"Tell me in detail!"
Hearing her young mistress's excited voice, Qing Tao did not keep it a secret, "I heard from Xiao Luzi that it was because she secretly met the Eighth Prince without the knowledge of Concubine Hui, and even taught the then one-year-old Eighth Prince to say that she was his biological mother, and that Concubine Hui was just using them. How old is the Eighth Prince, how could he understand all this?"
"Concubine Wei failed to instigate the Eighth Prince, but was caught by Concubine Hui. It is said that she was punished to kneel and copy palace rules. Concubine Hui gave up because she was the Eighth Prince's biological mother."
"But since then, Concubine Wei has been unwelcome in Yanxi Palace."
"She doesn't eat well, and she wears the worst clothes. Even when she needs hot water, she has to wait until the other ladies in the Yanxi Palace have used it before she dares to go to the small kitchen to get it. Not only that, Concubine Hui also keeps a tight watch on the Eighth Prince, fearing that she will meet the Eighth Prince in private again."
No wonder she insisted on having her help win favor for her, and she was so ready to give the Eighth Prince to her.
Yuying half believed these words, but, "So detailed? How did he know it?"
"My young lady, you don't know that the eighth prince's wet nurse is a distant cousin of Xiao Luzi's family. When Concubine Wei was caught by Concubine Hui, she was watching from the side."
This relationship is quite distant.
Yuying really admired Qingtao more and more, "Qingtao, it's a waste of your talent to stay with me." You should have been born two hundred years later and worked for an intelligence organization.
Qing Tao didn't know what Yu Ying was complaining about, "My lady, don't say that. I am willing to stay with you. I would not be happy to follow someone else."
"Qingtao, you only know how to say nice things to coax me." Yuying smiled.
"My lady, what I said is the truth!"
As she spoke, Qing Tao did not forget to put the dishes on the table and pointed at one of them, "My lady, please try today's bird's nest and shredded chicken. This is a special gift from the imperial kitchen. And this fried shrimp cake, I think it smells delicious just by smelling it."
Yuying's eyes followed Qingtao's movements. After hearing Qingtao's words, she asked with a smile, "How about giving half of it to Qingtao to try?"
"My lady! That's not what I meant!"
"I know, I know, but what if I want to give Qing Tao a taste?"
"Then wait until you finish your meal, I will share the rest with Pei'er and the others."
Yuying sighed and didn't force it.
After Yuying finished her meal, Qingtao and the others took the remaining food away, "Qingtao, go eat. You don't need to serve me here."
Qing Tao and others retreated.
Yuying was lying on the desk, doing nothing.
There was a pitiful lack of entertainment in the palace. I wondered how the ladies spent their time when they were not summoned.
She didn't know anyone, so she couldn't go out and visit people. She only knew a few people in Changchun Palace. There were too many rules at Anpin's place, and she could only make silk lace at Zhangjia's place. She didn't want to go to any of them.
well.
It would be nice if I had a cell phone and a computer.
That’s right!
Yuying quickly jumped up from her seat. If there was no entertainment, why not create one herself?
What about playing cards and mahjong? They are all played with your hands.
"Qingtao, Qingtao!" Yuying shouted towards the door.
"My lady, what's wrong?" Qing Tao hurried over.
"I want to make something. Please ask someone to help me find someone from the Imperial Household Department."
"Yes, my lord."
…
Qingtao was very efficient. Yuying didn't have to wait long before she came with her people.
"I, Xiao Chengzi from the Imperial Household Department, pay my respects to Lady Jin. May Lady Jin be blessed with good fortune."
With outsiders around, Yuying couldn't help but say, "Ahem - get up."
"I will give you something now. You need to make it as soon as possible. Can you do it?"
"My lord, since you have ordered me to do so, I will do my best. But I don't know what it is. I hope you can tell me what it is." Xiao Chengzi asked enthusiastically.
"Here you go." Yuying handed the pattern she had drawn while waiting for someone to draw to Xiao Chengzi, "Take a look at it first. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
Xiao Chengzi took it with both hands and looked down at it.
He looked confused at first, then acted as if he suddenly understood something.
"Your Excellency's painting is very detailed, and I have no doubts about it."
"That's good. When can it be delivered?" Yuying secretly tried to speed up the process.
"If you need it urgently, I will make it for you even if I have to work all night. I wonder if you are willing to wait until tomorrow afternoon?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Just come according to your schedule and send it to me when it's done." Yuying was frightened by Xiao Chengzi's enthusiasm, and her reserved attitude was exposed.
"Thank you for your understanding, my lord. I will take my leave now."
"Okay, Qingtao, you go and see him off. Eunuch Cheng has worked hard on the journey. Take some of the reward money and give it to Eunuch Cheng for tea."
"Yes, young lady." Qing Tao took over the conversation, "Eunuch Cheng, please come this way."
"Thank you, young lady."
By the time Qingtao brought Xiao Chengzi here and sent him back, most of the day had passed.
The rest of the time was easy to pass, and it was time to continue practicing the big characters that Kangxi had asked him to practice.
In the evening, news came that Kangxi summoned Yuying to sleep with him, and it was still Wei Zhu, whom Yuying was familiar with.
All right. Yuying put down the brush in her hand, moved her neck, stretched her waist, and it was time to go to work.
No one knew what was wrong with Kangxi that he made her work the night shift alone.
Yuying stood up and said, "Eunuch Wei, please wait a moment. I will go change my clothes first."
"You are too polite, Lady Jin. It is my duty as a servant to wait for you."
By the time Yuying arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, it was already dark.
Yuying pushed the door open and went in.
There was a dim candlelight in the bedroom. Kangxi was wearing a bright yellow pajamas. Unlike the tightly fitting ones he wore during the day, his collar was slightly open, revealing his sturdy body. Yuying looked at him from afar and actually felt like she was looking at a beauty under the lamplight.
"Pfft——" Yuying was amused by her own thoughts.
As they were far away, Kangxi did not hear Yuying's inner voice, so he was puzzled, "What is Ah Ying laughing at?"
"I saw a beautiful woman and I was very happy."
There were only the two of them in the palace at the moment, so where did the beauty come from? After a little thought, Kangxi finally realized, "Aying is teasing me?"
"Doesn't the Emperor allow it?"
Yuying walked over and sat down next to Kangxi.
Kangxi took the opportunity to hold her in his arms and said, "How dare I disobey you? Ah Ying, please don't accuse me." It was just a joke. He didn't know how many times she had secretly cursed him in her heart.
Yuying followed Kangxi's strength and leaned her whole body against Kangxi's chest, feeling the slight vibration in Kangxi's chest while he spoke. She suddenly felt that in this lonely dynasty, it seemed that this man was the only one she could rely on.
Yuying was so scared that she quickly shook her head and forgot the thought that flashed through her mind.
Hormones, hormones are at work.
Kangxi lowered his head and asked, "Why is Ah Ying shaking her head?"
Yuying looked up, stared at Kangxi, and said nothing.
Kangxi didn't hear her thoughts. She seemed a little strange tonight. He was about to ask more, but was interrupted by Yuying.
"Your Majesty, I'm sleepy. Let's go to bed."
